Fish ON the Desert.

A most astonishing discovery was
made one day some two weeks ago, on
the desert about ten miles southeast of
Mayhew's halfway house between Flor
ence and Casa Grandc, and three miles
from Mr.. j. G. Loss's ranch. Felix May
hew and Mexican were out hunting
horses when they espicd q small water
hole some two or three feet in diameter
and quite shallow. Mr.. Mayhem rode
up to it intending to water his horse,
when he found it alive with fish. He
left the Mexican at the place and rode
to Loss's ranch for bucket to save them
alive, and when he returned the rapidly
receding water had left the fish almost
dry. Out of the little hole were taken
four fine carp, one five inches, one ten
inches, one twelve and one thirteen
inches in length, and they are now en-
joying the hospitalities of Mr.. Mayhew's
water tank and may be seen by any one
that passes his station. How the carp
reached the water hole is the great mys-
terry, as no one has noticed sufficient
overflow of the Santa Cruz to bring
them across sixty miles of desolation,
and yet there is no other way of account
ing for their presence in the desert
Florence (Ariz.) Enterprise.

Tea Tasters.

'Ten years ago only one store in
hundred had what is known as a tea
faster; now there is no tea house Of any
importance whatever which has not in
one of its employees good tea faster,
said large wholesale tea dealer. "a
thousand chests Of tea will be received; ;
the tea faster then gets in his work. A
little tea is taken and put in scale;
just enough to balance tive-cent piece.
1t is then placed in cups and boiling
water is poured over the tea. The faster
then takes sip from each cup and
writes down, on piece Of paper his idea
Of its worth.
"No two tasters, however, agree to
the value of tea, especially the black
Oolong, which is mostly drank in this
city,"
"Docs the tea have any injurious effect
on the taster?'
Sometimes he will get hold of a pos
itively rank grade, and then he will spit
it out as soon as he can. Frequent tast-
ing often makes man very nervous, and
most Of these men soon acquire a positive
dislike for tea and drink nothing but
coffee. There are connoiseurs of tea as
we'll as whiskey. y Philadelphia News.

Moderation in Diet.

The Roman soldiers" says the Sci
entific American, who built such Won
derful roads and carried weight of
armor and luggage that would crush the
average farm hand, lived on coarse
brown bread and sour wine. They were
temperate in diet and regular and con-
slant in exercise. The Spanish peasant
works every day and dances half the
night, yet eats only his black bread,
onion and watermelon. The SMYRNA
porter eats only fruit and some olives,
yet he walks off with his load of 100
pounds. The coolie, fed on rice, is more
active and can endure more than the
negro fed On fat meat. The heavy work
of the world is not done by men who eat
the greatest quantity. Moderation in
diet seems TO be the prerequisite of en-
durance."

years, eagerly seize the ropes
and hold fast, to keep the pony from
kicking, taking care to keep at re-
spectful distance from the hoofs that
wildly paw the air. When the branding
is completed the colts are again turned
loose, and they trot nimbly off to their
mothers, and, unless great many
buyers are present, the whole herd is
again let out of the pen, and, unre-
strained by the whip or lasso, are of
with the speed of the wind, and are soon
lost to sight in the great woods.
Formerly these ponies could be bought
very cheap, but since the facilities for
travel to the island have increased and
the population grown to such large pro-
portions, they command higher prices
and are much sought after by the
wealthy for beach driving. They are
easily trained, and when properly cared
for after being taken from their marshy
home are handsome little specimens of
horscfcsh. - Philadelphia Times.
